處理此角色的 AI 工具
A boutique market entry consultancy in London used to employ three junior researchers at a cost of roughly £95,000 a year to monitor global regulatory shifts. They moved to a workflow using Perplexity for news tracking and a custom Claude-based 'summariser' for government white papers. They now employ one senior analyst who spends 20% of their time auditing the AI's reports. They reduced their overhead by £72,000 in the first year alone, while increasing their report output by 400%.
Penny 的觀點
The traditional Research Assistant role—the one where a junior sits in a room and 'finds stuff'—is dead. If you are paying someone £30k to read PDFs and write summaries, you are effectively paying for a human bridge to a database. Tools like Perplexity and NotebookLM now handle the 'retrieval' phase of research at a speed no human can match. They don't get tired at 4 PM, and they don't miss a footnote in a 200-page prospectus. However, the 'Hallucination Tax' is real. You cannot just take an AI summary and put it in front of a client or a CEO without a 'Human-in-the-Loop' audit. The transition I’m seeing across my network is the shift from 'Research Assistant' to 'Research Editor.' You don't need a grad to find the data; you need a sharp mind to verify the AI's synthesis and ask the second-order questions the AI isn't curious enough to ask. Start by moving your document synthesis to Claude or NotebookLM; it’s a low-risk, high-reward first step.
